I never thought about former colonies electing to keep a common law system opposed to creating a different system.
I think the reasons why are obvious, but it is an interesting thing to note.
Very few former British colonies abandoned the common law (if they used the common law in the first place) after independence. Their economic performances have been, shall we say, variable.

Over 200 people killed so far, some who seem likely to have died agonizing deaths by drowning after clinging to wreckage for hours, with no trials, and without a single piece of evidence released to the public of their guilt or of any intent to smuggle drugs to the United States.

JACOBS: It seems like you have an issue admitting facts, just like you couldn't admit the shoes the president bought you were too big
RUBIO: The florsheims fit fine
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
I wrote about the Pelosi succession in SF. Well, the results are in. Or in enough.
Pelosi was able to get her candidate, Chan, into the second round, and beat back the former AOC chief who jumped in to primary her.
But the frontrunner is still the 🦒 - Wiener
